socket

A network socket is a software structure within a network node of a computer network that serves as an endpoint for sending and receiving data across the network. The structure and properties of a socket are defined by an application programming interface (API) for the networking architecture. Sockets are created only during the lifetime of a process of an application running in the node.
Because of the standardization of the TCP/IP protocols in the development of the Internet, the term network socket is most commonly used in the context of the Internet protocol suite, and is therefore often also referred to as Internet socket. In this context, a socket is externally identified to other hosts by its socket address, which is the triad of transport protocol, IP address, and port number.
The term socket is also used for the software endpoint of node-internal inter-process communication (IPC), which often uses the same API as a network socket.

    Stop and start granny charging via power lead

    Will the MG4 automatically start charging when power is applied via a 'granny' lead or does something have to be set within the car to initiate charging? If the latter, is it possible to stop and start charging simply by switching the power to the granny lead off and back on, without having to...

    Wireless charging using the 12V/120W outlet in the trunk

    Hi, I'm not taking delivery of my Cyberster GT until March 1st, but since the front USB A and C sockets are only providing 5V/1,5A I was wondering if it is possible to plug a more powerful adapter into the 12V/120W socket in the trunk and run a wire into the cabin to a wireless charger - maybe...

    USB socket not working

    The USB socket in our zs ev has stopped working so we are unable to access android auto. We are out of warranty. The dealer says the socket is damaged and they would need to replace the entire system at a cost of around £4500. Can anyone suggest a workaround? Thanks

    Faulty USB Socket I think

    I thought I had a bad iphone cable in my 72 plate ZSEV because the Apple Car play kept disconnecting. I bought 3 different new cables and none of them work even an original Apple cable. 1 out of 20 times the Apple Car Play connects and stays connected but generally when I plug in the Car Play...

    Charge port lock stuck

    The charge socket on the car appears to have a locking pin at the 12 o'clock position that deploys to prevent the plug being removed. Mine appears to have become confused and is deployed without the plug inserted so I cannot properly insert the charge plug. Is there a way to reset this or...

    Boot spare light socket or something else ?

    Does anyone know what this might be ? I initially thought it was a spot for a boot light in left hand drive vehicles . When I opened it up , there was a loop of cable or wire like a pull toggle . Could be see if there was a wiring socket behind it….

    Type2 port socket cap / lid

    Printed a "cap" for the body of the Type2 / Mennekes charging socket. The outer lid is not "sealed" at all, so need to protect the pins from dust, water drops and moisture fog.

    Charging Socket Lights

    The lights in our MG4 charging socket are red. I have a recollection they used to be blue. Am I dreaming or are our lights an odd colour? If they did change colour I think it may have coincided with getting the tow ball fitted which would have involved fiddling with the electrics.

    Waterproof plug socket cover

    My new MG4 SE LR does not have a waterproof plug cover. In the users manual this is repeatedly referred to as a safety feature. My MG dealer sales person states it is not standard and not provided on an MG4 which (as a safety feature) feels counter intuitive. Can anyone give me definitive answer...

    Faulty charging socket locking mechanism

    Just collected my MG4 51 yesterday and I find that the locking mechanism for the charging socket is acting up. It is not able to fully engage when the charging plug is inserted and hence refuses to charge until it is locked. I have to remove and reinsert the plug several time to get it to lock...
